The civilian leader had placated the generals by defending them against genocide charges. She still found herself forced from power.

Is this what she wants?

Soni's thoughts

I Tried this art with Reference from Google

They say “listen to your elders as they are always right!!” She thought “so are they always right?? Does they always show us right path to follow? If so, then why today i am not happy? Why i feel like chained? i did listen to them but i dont get the peace ever!! If they are always correct then why today i do not feel like being here and wanna go very very far?
The ‘free spirited’, ‘do whatever you feel like’, ‘live your life in your way which makes you happy’ girl is lost somewhere today in parents, societies so called rules, traditions!!
This is not the life i wanted ever!
I did not want to be tied, i wanted to fly… i wanted to dance, to sing, to travel, to see the world…. but why this!! Elders are correct so…

The “Nazification” Of The GOP?

Gulf South Free Press

Oh goody!  The title ought stir the juices of some! NOTE: I am NOT calling Repubs as Nazis! I am pointing out that some of the past dealings smell a bit hinkey

In the past I have tried to point out that the GOP has been slowly moving far right….since 1980 the journey began and became more pronounce with the election of Clinton in 1992 and the trek sped up from that point until we had the election that gave us a Donald Trump. Here is a simple look at the ideology…..

  • Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
  • Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded…

Political violence erupts in San Salvador

Reacting to the shooting, Jorge Cuellar, a Salvadoran scholar and lecturer at Dartmouth, wrote on Twitter:
Bukele’s inflammatory rhetoric has now turned into physical violence, a drive-by, against an opposition party campaign launch event. Senseless—and a direct consequence of Bukele’s ceaseless fearmongering.  This is the consequence of the political rage that Bukele has harnessed, encouraged, and now prompted followers to act on. Bukele must be held responsible for this act of direct violence against another political party.  It’s as if his military populism, his ongoing hate rhetoric for the political opposition, and the cult of personality he’s cultivated was something he could manage and contain to the realm of political discourse…

Since December, Nayib Bukele has been publicly denigrating the 1992 Peace Accords which ended the country’s bloody civil war.   One of the major achievements of those accords had been the virtual elimination of political violence in El Salvador for the past two decades.   El Salvador now faces peril that the abusive attack language used by the president and his allies on social media may be inciting a kind of violence many prayed would not be seen again.

LA County reports 5,925 new coronavirus cases, 124 deaths on Sunday

Los Angeles County reported 5,925 new cases of COVID-19 and 124 additional deaths on Sunday, Jan. 31, bringing the county’s totals to 1,116,892 cases and 16,770 fatalities.

The county’s daily report did not include updated figures for Long Beach and Pasadena, which operate independent health departments. As of 4:30 p.m. Saturday, neither city had updated its dashboard. Pasadena on Sunday reported 56 new cases, bringing its total since the pandemic began to 10,212; the city’s death toll remained 253. Long Beach did not update its totals over the weekend; as of Friday, the city had reported 663 deaths and 47,844 cases.

The latest numbers came one day after health officials confirmed the second local case of the COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7 first discovered in the United Kingdom, and four additional cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).

The B.1.1.7 specimen, submitted by a clinical facility, was sequenced as part of routine surveillance by the county’s Public Health Laboratory. The first confirmed case of B.1.1.7 was logged on Jan. 16, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

Officials believes the B.1.1.7 and other variants are already spreading in the county, and they are continuing to test samples. B.1.1.7 is considered more contagious, but not necessarily more deadly, than the original strain of COVID-19.

The four additional cases of MIS-C bring the total number in the county to 66 children, including one child death. All 66 children with MIS-C in L.A. County were hospitalized and 44% of the children were treated in the ICU. Of the 66, 32% were under the age of 5, 38% were between the ages of 5 and 11, and 30% were between the ages of 12 and 20.

Latino children account for nearly 74% of the reported cases, the department said.

MIS-C is an inflammatory condition associated with COVID-19, and symptoms include fever that does not go away and inflamed body parts, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs.

Health officials said Saturday that COVID-19 vaccination appointments for this week are available for Los Angeles County residents who qualify.

For county residents seeking their first dose, “appointments from February 1 -7 are now available at http://VaccinateLACounty.com,” the health department tweeted. “Residents will be able to book their first and second dose appointments at the same time.

Vaccination appointments can be booked online or by calling 833-540-0473 between 8 a.m. and 8:30 p.m.

Officials said email confirmations are being sent for those seeking a second-dose appointment.

“If you have not received an email yet, it will be sent soon,” the department tweeted. “We appreciate your patience.”

People currently eligible to get vaccinated in the county are health care workers, long-term care facility residents and those aged 65 and over.

Meanwhile, outdoor dining returned to the county Friday after a two-month shutdown, but with a new restriction forcing restaurants to turn off or remove all televisions from customer seating areas — a clear effort to prevent gatherings of sports fans.

The county’s revised Health Officer Order also reinstates previous restrictions on outdoor dining: requiring servers to wear masks and face shields, limiting restaurants to 50% of patio capacity, limiting tables to no more than six people from the same household and requiring tables to be at least eight feet apart.

But the order also states: “Televisions or any other screens that are used to broadcast programming must be removed from the area or turned off. This provision is effective until further notice.”

The provision is directly aimed at preventing gatherings of sports fans, particularly with the Super Bowl approaching on Feb. 7.

“We really do need to be cautious as we move forward, given we have a major sporting event,” county Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis said. “We’ve seen lots of people together shouting, yelling, screaming during the excitement of a game. We want to make sure that as we do these re-openings we can see the impact, and as we move forward, if things continue to get better we may be able to change some of the restrictions that are there.

“But right now we have to ease into these re-openings,” he said. “We want to see these cases continue to come down, our hospitalizations continue to come down. … But that depends on everybody doing what’s right to prevent being infected with the virus. So at this point we are easing our way into this and want to see how our numbers continue to trend and we’ll make changes as we see how we continue to do.”
